LS1 brake swap?

For those that have done this already, did you use the LT1, LS1 or Earl lines? If you're using the LT1, do you have any pics of what needed to be "adjusted" to make it work? I want to make the needed adjustments before I powder coat everything. If you're using the Earl's, what pn are you using?
Thanks

I just used the stock lines. I bent the hard lines coming off the calipers a little so their where no problems with kinking.

Just finished mine today. I bent the stock plate down to attach the LS1 brake line and use zip ties to keep it from moving. Piece of cake. No rubbing or kinking.

I did the same exact thing over a year ago when i first did the swap, and haven't had a problem since.

Bend down the mounting tabs and use the LT1 lines.
